A perfectly fried egg is a small daily joy, and it is the truest test of a pan. Whether you like crisp lacy edges or soft and silky, here is how to get it right every time on a titanium pan, with a clean release and no coating in sight.
Why eggs love a titanium pan
Eggs are delicate and famous for sticking, which is why they reveal so much about a pan. A titanium pan builds a natural non-stick patina as you cook with a little fat, so the egg glides rather than grips, without any chemical coating. The key is matching your heat to the style of egg you want.
Choose your style
Soft and silky
Use medium-low heat and a knob of butter. Slip in the egg, let it set gently, and the white stays tender while the yolk runs. Perfect for toast soldiers.
Crisp lacy edges
Use medium-high heat and a little more oil. The edges bubble, brown and crisp while the centre stays soft. Ideal on rice bowls or burgers.
💡 Thyra tip: Crack the egg into a small cup first, then slide it into the pan. You get a neat shape and no shell surprises.
Step by step
- Warm the pan. Set your titanium pan over the heat for your chosen style and add butter or oil.
- Add the egg. Slide it in gently once the fat is ready.
- Cook to taste. For sunny side up, leave it undisturbed until the white sets. For over easy, flip carefully for a few seconds.
- Slide it out. A properly heated titanium pan lets the egg release with a gentle shake.

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop fried eggs sticking?
Preheat the pan, use a little butter or oil, and let the egg set before you move it. On titanium, the natural patina makes release easier the more you cook.
What heat is best for fried eggs?
Medium-low with butter for soft, silky eggs, or medium-high with oil for crisp, lacy edges.
Do I need a non-stick coating for eggs?
No. A coating-free titanium pan releases eggs cleanly once its natural patina builds, no chemical coating required.
